How our green ammonia system works

Modular, Containerized, Autonomous

TalusAg, an agtech and energy technology company, has pioneered the first commercial, modular, green ammonia system that makes the local production and distribution of a critical raw material cost-competitive and more reliable.
TalusAg produces green ammonia at or near the point of use from power, water, and air, stabilizing the cost of the essential raw material and guaranteeing supply certainty for local agriculture communities, mining sites, and maritime shipping.
Why green ammonia?
